Help! How to set up iPod as new on PC when it's previously been formatted for Mac.

OK, so I'm giving y old iPod nano away, and I have a Mac. the person I'm giving it to has a PC, and when I plug the iPod in to his computer, it won't pop up. I plugged it in while holding down the center and menu button to put it into diagnostics mode, and the computer recognized it as "software that could not be installed". I tried this many times, what is the trick to this?!? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I tried it like 7 times, and I even got a popup once saying that "WINDOWS COULD NOT SET UP IPOD AT THIS TIME" with a big error symbol next to it. I even went to Apple.com and searched the ipod support pages, and tried everything there. Nothing.

When I plug the iPod in, the battery status on the device doesn't even show the "charging" symbol. It's as if the computer doesn't even recognize that an iPod's plugged in, even though it must because I got that popup about the software before, and the error one just now.

God, this reminds me why I switched to Mac. AAAARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!

And it's not the iPod. When I plug it in to my Mac everything works perfectly.
